After a long battle, where the best poker was played by Greg Merson, Jesse Sylvia and Jake Balsiger at the Final Table of the WSOP; the last one, a 21 year-old political science student was eliminated after busting his QT against Merson’s QK, with 6-6-6-J-5 as community cards.
Balsiger had the chance to become the youngest player to win the Main Event in the history of the WSOP, but that dream was crushed by one of the favorites to win since the final table started: Greg Merson, who also has a huge possibility, if he wins, to become the Player Of the Year (POY) Award. Despite being eliminated, reaching the third position will be enough to make Jake popular beyond his thoughts, plus a lovely $3.799.079 prize.
The action continues with two titans: Greg Merson, whose mentor is the super star Phil Ivey; and Jesse Sylvia, who has been prepared for this event by Vanessa Selbst.
Who will be the last man standing and taker of the $8.000.000?
Stay tuned to the OPWC News and you’ll know the answer.
